No miseries, no horrors can separate you from the love of Christ.

All adversities and adversaries will finally serve your everlasting joy.

The invincible love of God will let nothing separate you from him.

I think we've all felt it.

When suffering drags on, we're tempted to start asking,

is God's love really still there for us?

And then this part of Romans 8 comes to our rescue. All those adversities, all those

adversaries, they don't win. Instead, because of God's sovereign power and design, they serve our

joy in the end. I'm your host, Dan Kruver. In this episode of light and truth, John

Piper unpacks the invincible love of God in Christ Jesus from Romans 8. That

unbreakable love that means everything that comes against you is ultimately

working for your good, for your eternal happiness in him.

What then should we say to these things? That's a good question to ask. Speechless we are almost. What should we say to these things? If God is for us, and that's a good way to summarize everything so far in Romans 8, he's for you, he's not against you. He's always for you. When the sickness comes, he's for you. When the car wreck happens, he's for you. When you lose your job, he's for you.

Believe these things, and you will be a strong person.

If God is for us, who can be against us?

What's the answer to that question?

Nobody.

Well, that's stupid, right?

Everybody's against us.

What does he mean? We got to...

What you mean? Nobody. You're right. That's the answer I would have given.
